Figure 2 Independent risk of renal insufficiency on cardiovascular events, adjusted for traditional cardiovascular risk factors. Longitudinal studies are from 1973 to 1999. Comparing cardiovascular event rates was problematic because different cardiovascular outcomes are reported in the studies. Here, cardiovascular events preferentially represented cardiovascular mortality or heart failure mortality when reported, or otherwise represented myocardial infarction, stroke, or some composite of cardiovascular disease. *Age adjusted rate.
